Groups Launch “Shoebox Drive” For Patients
Three groups — Art on the Town, Giving in Bermuda and Helping Out in Bermuda — have launched a Shoebox Drive for 120 patients at KEMH in their Extended Care Unit as well as patients at Agape House.
A spokesperson said, “We are appealing for participants/donations or shoeboxes filled with goodies for these patients. Location for drop-offs will be announced closer to the time.
“Ideas for boxes: Socks, wooly hats or scarves, sugar-free candy, nuts or any other healthier treats. Hot chocolate powder, a new coffee mug, writing paper and envelopes or cards, board games like puzzles [if you buy a puzzle you don't have to do a shoebox, just wrap the puzzle up].
“Also, new alarm clock, body cream, toothbrush and paste, pencils or pens, something cute and funny, crossword or word search books, magazine, book to read or whatever else you would think of giving your granny, grandpa.”

Thank you for the awesome coverage.
This is wonderful! Is there any contact information that we can have for more details?
Meals on Wheels have just got back to me. They have 170 people in need. I need to increase our drive from 130 boxes to 300 boxes by December 23rd.
Where do you put the “Shoeboxes” once filled and wrapped?
Looking forward to participating, this is a great idea!
We would love to help. Please let us know the date and drop off locations.
